Belotero Volume with Lidocaine Main Ingredients and Device Properties

Belotero Volume is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds and retains water molecules, playing a crucial role in keeping the skin hydrated and radiant.

The added lidocaine further enhances the patient experience by minimising discomfort during the injection. It works by temporarily numbing the injection area, ensuring a more comfortable treatment.

Accessories or Items Included

• 2 x 1ml pre-filled syringes
• 2 x 27G 37mm cannulas
• 2 x 30G 1/2” and 2 x 27G 1/2″ needles

Storage Conditions

Belotero Volume with Lidocaine should be kept at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C/77°F, and away from heat sources. Do not freeze the product. The expiration date can be found on both the syringe and blister packaging.

Mode of Administration

Belotero treatment should only be injected into healthy, disinfected skin. The provided needles are recommended for optimal application, but other sterile needles or cannulas compatible with the syringe’s luer-lock connection (18G to 30G) may also be used. Before injecting, cleanse the patient’s skin and mark the injection points, but remove markings before injection.

Pinch the skin and insert the needle perpendicularly until it reaches the bone. Slowly inject the filler into the dermis, then withdraw the needle and ensure even distribution. Minimal bleeding should occur due to the fine gauge of the needle.

Post-treatment care includes avoiding sun exposure for a week to prevent hyaluronic acid degradation, and refraining from strenuous exercise for 24 hours to reduce bruising. Ice and acetaminophen can be used for pain, swelling, or bruising.

Post-Treatment Care

For the first 12-24 hours post-treatment, patients should be advised to avoid:

• Touching or pressing the treated areas
• Applying makeup
• Strenuous exercise
• Alcohol consumption
• Using anticoagulants, anti-platelet drugs, aspirin, or any medication that affects blood clotting for three days
• Using specific skincare instructions, with harsh or active ingredients
• Sun exposure for a week to prevent hyaluronic acid degradation

Ice and acetaminophen can be used for pain, swelling, or bruising.

How Long Does Belotero Volume with Lidocaine Last?

The effects of Belotero Volume with Lidocaine were shown to last between 9 and 18 months. However, results may vary from patient to patient, so they should also be informed that follow-up injections may be needed for optimal and maintained results.

Potential Side Effects

After receiving the Belotero treatment, patients may experience mild side effects. These reactions are generally short-lived and rarely lead to complications, thanks to the cross-linked hyaluronic acid in the product, which closely resembles the HA naturally produced by the body. Common side effects include:

• Swelling, redness, itching, or bruising at the injection site
• Skin discoloration in the treated area
• Increased tenderness in the treatment zone

The patient should report any signs of adverse effects, such as vascular issues, persistent redness, or swelling lasting beyond a few days, or any other concerning symptoms.

Like many dermal fillers, Belotero Volume with Lidocaine has certain limitations. The injection should be avoided if the patient has any of the following conditions:

• Allergy to any component of the product
• Infection or inflammation at the injection site
• Severe illness, such as untreated epilepsy or autoimmune disorders
• Concurrent use of antibiotics
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
